Correct Keyboard for a Predator Helios 16-72 (NH.QNZEG.005 / Acer Predator Helios 16 PH16-72-90ZU)

Hi,

currently I have in front if me the mainboard of an NH.QNZEG.005 (That is that is the variant with the i9-14900HX and RTX4080 12GB). The "Predator PH16-72 eTron_RTX LIFECYCLE EXTENSION GUIDE" refers to this as the ZGWC-Mainboard variant.

I was tasked with attaching a keyboard to the mainboard and to boot it up.

The issue is: Finding the right keyboard. Plenty of keyboards (such as the one in pic1) use the flat large FFC cable.

But this mainboard does not have a port for that (see below). At first I thought, this might be an defect, but apparently is common for this specific mainboard with this configuration (and goes in line with the life extension manual).

The question now is: What is the exact model(number) of replacement keyboard? I know, that it might be the entire front cover, which would be fine as well, but I want to make sure, I have the proper one, before actually committing to the purchase.
